| Continuous Probability Distribution | Use histograms to count results from uniform intervals as a means of learning about continuous distributions. |
 |
 |
| Uniform Probability Distributions | Work with the random function on a graphing calculator and verify that it represents a uniform probability density function. |
 |
|
| Normal Probability Distributions | Work with normal probability distributions and understand the roles of mean and standard deviation. |
 |
|
| Other Continuous Probability Distributions | Investigate examples of alternative probability density functions. |
 |
|
| Mean of a Continuous Random Variable | Understand the mean or expected value of a continuous random variable. |
 |
|
| The Standard Normal Distribution | Use various methods to find the area under the standard normal curve. |
 |
|
| A Normal Distribution Simulation | Simulate a scenario related to the normal distribution. |
 |
|
| Assessing Normality | Understand the steps for creating a normal probability plot and assessing normality. |
 |
|
| Normal Approximation to the Binomial Probability Distribution | Understand how the normal probability distribution may be used to approximate the binomial probability distribution. |
